Clinton Now
Is Well Policed
Good policing in a town of any
sizes becomes one of the things
the people take for granted. The
three-man force equipped with
cruiser, which it is Clinton's good
fortune to -possess has made Clin-
ton practically crime -free, and
definitely a more pleasant place
to live.

in the middle of very unsettled
circumstances as far as the police
force went. : The previous estab-
lishment of chief and two assist-
ants was upset, when chief con-
stable J. Ferrand resigned some-
time earlier and his position was
filled by a new chief. Then a
series of break-ins, car robberies
and apparently unsolvable minor
discrepancies led to unrest among
the people of Clinton. The busi-
nessmen especially were warned
to leave a light burning at night,
and to be sure windows and doors
were locked.
Then early in April the chief
constable resigned and with him
one other constable, leaving Clin-
ton almost unpoliced.
The third constable stepped in-
to the role of chief constable for
an interim period, and in the
meantime the break-ins continued
with hardly a week going by
without two or three new incid-
ents.
By the first of May, J. Ferrand

RCN Venture Han
New Idea To
Interest Trainees
The Royal Canadian Navy has
launched a new program for pro-
curement and training of junior
officers, Called the "Venture
Plan", it offers a seven-year short
service appointment to young men
between 16 and 19 years having
certain qualifications, among them
junior matriculation or the equiv-
alent.
Those who show a desire to
make the Navy their career may
later obtain permanent Commis-
sions if they have the necessary
qualifications.
The "Venture Plan" supple-
ments existing officer -entry plans
and has been devised to meet the
demand for officers arising out of
the expansion of the naval forces.
A training estblishment, utiliz-
ing existing resources of West
Coast naval establishments and to
be named HMCS "Venture," will
provide living quarters, classrooms
and facilities for training and re-
creation.
Successful applicants will be en-
tered as cadets and begin studies
at HMCS "Venture" next Septem-
ber 20. Their basic course covers
two years, including two seven-
month periods of academic studies,
each to be followed by four mon-
ths' practical training at sea.
HMCS Ontario, primarily a jun-
ior officer training cruiser, will
provide "Venture" cadets with sea
training.
Cadets will be paid $55 per
month and will receive all neces-
sary items of clothing and equip-
ment, plus 30 days' annual leave,
and free medical and dental ser-
vices. It is planned to graduate
about 80 percent of the cadets in-
to the executive branch of the
RCN, with about one third of
these specializing as naval air-
crew, the balance will be divided
among the engineering, ordnance
and supply branches,
Young RCAF Men
Together Again
After Many Years
They say that, "It's a small
world." Flying Officer Hank
Marcotte and F/O Ron MacDonald
are sure of the fact.
It started in 1940 when they
first met in the Ground School at
No: 3 SFTS at Saskatoon, where
as 19 year old lads they were
completing their pilots training.
After the course they went their
separate ways. The Second Wor-
ld War ended and Station Saska-
toon was rte, longer used by the
regular force.
With the beginning of the Kor-
ean hostilities many units were
again reactivated and Saskatoon
became a n Advanced Flying
School, When January 1954 rol-
led around a group gathered in
the same Ground School, the same
classroom. This time the course
was instrument flying and for the
first time since that day in 1940
F/O Marcotte and F/O MacDon-
ald met again.
After successful completion of
the course both officers returned
to their. units, wondering if their
paths would ever cross again, but
very sure in their own minds it
won't be in the same classroom,
the same building at the same
station.
'Farm cash income in 1953
totalled $2,674,679,000, down by
four per cent from 1952 and five
per cent less than the 1951 record
high.

Young Airmenf rom Outside Canada.
Vie With.:RCAF For Championship
The NATO effect in Canada, in-
troduced by nine. NATO countries
participating in the RCAF's air-
crew training plan, spread. further
afield this past week.
At the annual Banff Winter
Carnival 'a NATO student, Flight
Cadet, Torbjorn Yggeseth af. the
Royal Norwegian Air Force won
the international Ski -jump.
He achieved 235.1 points out of
a possible 240 over three pumps,.
reaching 194 feet on his longest
attempt. Club officials felt F/C
Yggeseth would have bettered
their record of 224 feet if weather
conditions had been favourable. A
six-inch snow fall had slowed the
course considerably.
Another first by the NATO
group was registered when F/C's
Evan Gill and Al Linkewick both
RCAF and FIC Arne Borthen,
RNAF, had the honour of offic-
ially opening the carnival. All
members of RCAF . Station Pen -
hold, Alta., where they are taking
pilot training, the airmen also
participated in the downyjrill races.
At the conclusion of the down-
hill event, F/C Linkewick and
F/C Gill opened the slalom, do-
ing the course as a team. Work-
ing like a matched pair .of trot-
ting horses, they received a ter-..
rific ovation from the 2,000 spec-
tators.
.All in all the meet was .a ter-,
rific success for the participants
and for' Station Penhold. The
skill and sportmanship of the
NATO students will be remember-
ed for many a year to come as
one of the finest groups of skiers
ever to participate at Banff.
